There's a snopes article about this and it calls Bernie supporters sharing this "disingenuous" for not mentioning that she ordered the flag not be replaced after this guy tore it down for the second time in two days.

That is a lot of words to try and avoid saying "yes she was fine with flying the Confederate flag"
we're only taking it down because this person asked me to, not that I want it down
She even dug in when announcing it wouldn't go back up, but totally just Bernie bros making her look bad
